Anyone good at doing percentages?

[Guest arch1]

If the Dam to my pup is -

 

1/4 Whippet

1/4 Staff

1/4 Greyhound

1/4 Bull

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the Sire is -

 

1/4 Bull

3/4 Greyhound

 

 

 

 

Then 1/4 equates to 25% of each breed,it's not 1/2 greyhound as this would be 50% greyhound,greyhound has been given at 1/4 which is 25%.

Correct me if i'm wrong lads but my reckoning is that this pup is

4/8 greyhound

2/8 bull

1/8 whippet

1/8 staff

 

higgins

 

 

Correct.

 

I you divide everything into the single, you get 8 parts. So then add the different parts together.

Wow, this is baffling all these numbers lol. So is the pup basically 5/8 Running dog, and 3/8 bull terrier.

 

Thanks lads.

4/8 greyhound

 

Higgins 4/8 = 1/2, as does 3/6 9/18 16/32 etc etc

It's all hypothetical anyway, a first cross is 50/50 after that, because genes are past randomly, you'll never know what percentage of anything is in the dog.

Right then, a bit more time now.

 

 

The Dam is,

1 part Whippet, 1 part Staffy, 1 part Bull and 1 part Grey. So 4 single parts.

 

This is assuming that the Staff and the Bull in the mix are different dogs.

 

The Sire is,

1 part Bull and 3 parts Grey, so again 4 parts.

 

Now just add the same parts together,

 

4/8th Grey = 1/2 or 50%

2/8th Bull = 1/4 or 25%

1/8th Staffy = 1/8 or 12.5%

1/8th Whippet = 1/8 or 12.5%

 

If you cross your Dog again, the division will be by 16ths or 6.25% If you do, i'll need help with that sum.

 

Thats just the Maths, as someone else has pointed out it doesn't all come out like that.

 

hope that helps,

 

Arch.

Spot on.

After first crosses, I personally think your better choosing your lining by the eye rather than on paper.

It's not a mongrel if you know what's in it!

 

A mongrel is a dog of unknown origin, Like TopNotch .
